LMFAO!!!

The most recent Viking fan legend, Vedvik, was the FOURTH draft pick the Vikings have used on Kickers/Punters since 2013. It's the FIFTH draft pick utilized on ST only players during that same time frame, including this years long snapper (actually the 9th draft pick utilized, if you include ol" Cordarelle and the FOUR draft picks pissed away on him to be a KR). 

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that ridiculous expenditure of draft picks on ST-Only players in a 6 year span is a NFL record....certainly in the modern era. SMH. But hey, at least they have 1 miracle home playoff win to show for it....so they got THAT going for them.  

P.S. : 8 of those 9 draft picks have gone bye-bye....no longer with the Vikings. Thank God we still have a long snapper to show for all those draft picks. WHEW! I'll sleep better tonight.

Ya just can't make this shit up! Too funny!

You are 100% correct!  This front office is proving to be real buffoons!

For those scoring at home, that's four punters, four kickers, four(ish, counting Shaun Hill) starting QBs and four offensive coordinators in four years. https://twitter.com/Andrew_Krammer/status/1168314911405031429 …

I pretty much stated the same in another thread aboyr the offense and special teams but wait... we should trust the GM and coaches not dare raise any concerns

The difficult thing to try and reconcile or find reason is the constant turnover.
How could anyone reasonably expect the offense to have any continuity if they change coaches (and playbooks) every year?
That is really piss poor planning.
Same thing with the kicker and punter.
Just pick one, show some patience, encourage the player, don't criticize him publicly, and they may be surprised at the results.
Meanwhile the vaunted defense has had the same coaches and scheme since Zimmer arrived (maybe a position coach left but I do not recall).
Yet this defense failed to show up the last two years in the last game of the season.
They got their arse kicked.
Something is wrong with this front office.
